There are 3 stalls across the driveway and facing the hotel that appear to be handicap spots. For some reason, they have a device built into the cable, just below the handle. It does not appear on the other 41 stalls. Does anyone know what this is? Edit: It just occurred to me that maybe...

It won't be long now...especially after reading what Ckerr had to say about the transformer already being in place (also, thanks for the update on Anderson). This shot was from Wednesday and although I didn't talk to anyone, it looked like they were just cleaning a few things up.

Absolutely massive tangle of conduit. BIG conduit, like 6 inch? Those trenches are deeper than they appear, especially the big dugout with I-5 in the background. I hope there is a plan somewhere for services, especially a restroom.

Drove through there the other day. Holiday Inn has a fairly large "overflow" parking area for their Convention Center. I'm pretty sure this would fit in back there nicely, however, they would also HAVE to install some kind of restroom facility right on the spot.

This will be a good test of Redding's resolve to stick to parking rules. Signs like "you will be towed and or fined". A coal rollers worst nightmare 😀

In response to Fnirun... good work. Wow. I wonder if this is Tesla's answer to accommodating non Tesla's in the future. Rivians, for example, have their charge ports left-front as I recall. I'm assuming tesla did their homework on this. If it indeed does work for all EVs, Tesla will be the...

I agree that if this was Redding's only Supercharger it wouldn't be ideal. But, as a supplemental location, it's awesome. It is a beautiful area. Trees, a 1 minute walk to a world class footbridge, and now, the new Cafe. I love it.

Please read my previous post :( https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/4251814/

Wow. Good eye. I'd gotten so discouraged with a SC in Redding, i gave up and stopped looking.

Hmmm. No bathrooms. No real amenities. ANd if you're on the road and just want to move on.... fairly off the beaten path. 😞 On the other hand..I just realized that is actually right off hwy 299. After all, Redding is the crossroads of I5 and 299 going east and west. Hmm. Ok, still need...

Why you little stinker. Some of us have older vehicles which can't utilize the ccs adapter. Believe me, I would pay for a charge port retrofit and buy a ccs adapter if I could. Supercharger network is so good I would probably never use it but...WTH, I wear seat belts too. Not because I think I'm...

Maybe they're wide for upcoming Cybertruck!!!

I knew another Supercharger was in the works in Red Bluff, but are you saying it's been built but not activated? Oh, I see you mentioned Raleys. I'll have to drive down and check it out.

FYI I did pull in there today and gave it a shot. No charging power... but there was some kind of power to the pedestals because the button on the charge handle which unlocks the charge port was working.

I've been looking into that ccs adapter. My model 3 is too old to utilize it. Only the latest have the chip which communicates with the ccs. I'll be curious if there will be a retrofit and how much that might cost. It would be nice to have the availability of ccs, but honestly us Tesla owners...

BTW, the picture in my above post (#102) is my current working setup.

For anyone still following this thread, UPDATE... I recently purchased the recommended SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 and then an exact replacement when the first one didn't work. BOTH had the same problem with multiple micro sd cards of different manufacturers. You can easily feel when you've...

Good to know. I've put that card reader into my Amazon cart waiting for your test. Thanks...I just might pull the trigger on that one now.

None of this makes any sense to me. Redding should have been number 1 on the list... and remember, at one time they were. The planners at Tesla are not idiots. The only thing I can figure is that Redding or REU (Redding Electric Utility) threw up some barriers.

You people are awesome! I've been searching far and wide since the 10.8 download to figure out what that little blue button icon did on the FSD nav screen. It never seemed to have an effect, but of course, I was always turning it off and on while on city streets FSD. It never occurred to me...

OMG great pics. Cottonwood... what a surprise.

This is EXACTLY why Redding needs a SC. It's a gateway to Northern California. I5 north and south. 44 west. 299 east and west. Having a viable charging network here is what will eventually demonstrate the "viability" of EVs to the general population. And aside from that, help those of us who...

LOL

Imagine the benefits Red Bluff could have realized with a Supercharger in their back yard. Right next to prime real estate and I5. This would have been the time to "take the bull by the horns" and do something with those properties. Where was the city council? Well, Redding may soon benefit, as...

Maybe my Austin/Brandenburg analogy didn't make much sense. I actually meant to agree with you on Weaverville's progress. Weaverville has actually begun digging with some equipment in place, whereas Redding only has some spray painting to mark underground utilities on the far end of the Save...

Like Austin will beat Berlin-Brandenburg? Ha ha

Does anyone know why the Red Bluff Supercharger shows "temporarily closed" on the in "in car" app? I cruised by today on my way home from Napa and, by chance, saw it on my car display. Luckily, I didn't need to stop.

What kind of drive? How did you format it?

I've been using a Micro SD card reader with great success for about a year now...until 2021.32.22. Same error message. I've always formatted FAT32 in the past, but after the error I've completely cleaned the MBR, re-partitioned and tried exFAT. Rebooted 3 or 4 times as well to no avail.

We drove at the end of July up Hwy 1 to Carmel Valley to visit family. Topped off at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, and by the time we arrived at Big Sur, my prostrate said "I gotta go". Wow, I wasn't expecting the lack of amenities here. There was a Model X driven by a woman with 4...

I asked a construction worker what was happening in front of Les Schwab and he said it was just a new carwash. A Supercharger there didn't correspond to what the permit said either. According to the assessor's map, the parcel number on Tesla's permit corresponds to the large parking lot...

Looks like the ball may be started to roll for the Redding Supercharger. A permit was apparently issued on 08/13/2021:D

Wow, good find. I checked either yesterday or the day before, and both Susanville and Alturas were "sometime in 2022". They both seem to be updated now to Q3 2021. Yeah! OMG I just looked again and Weaverville and Cottonwood are on the map. Guess we'll need new threads for those soon.

I agree with you. I live in Redding and have used Red Bluff a few times on my way home from places after dark. The thought has definitely crossed my mind as well and I'm a fairly unintimidated guy but one who keeps the radar up 360. These are things we all think about. Redding's new...

Agreed. Redding is a gateway to Northern CA to the East and West via Hwy 299 and Hwy 44. Susanville to the East is much needed, as Redding to Reno is 198 miles. Klamath Falls to Reno is 253 miles, and if anyone has seen Sandy Munro's recent video blog on his trip out West, Klamath Falls to...

I saw this also - Yeah! However, when you say "Redding Target Supercharger", Tesla is actually referring to a "target date", not necessarily a Supercharger opening at Target. Although the Target Store HAS been mentioned in the past as a possibility. We'll see.

Left Santa Rosa last Friday on my way to Redding and stopped at Williams to use the restroom and get enough charge to make it to Redding. There was a family having lunch on the picnic table next to the chargers, and I can tell you, they were absolutely flabbergasted that I was only plugged in...

I had the same issue last night in Williams just after 8pm. Navigating from Santa Rosa and preconditioning, I started at 20%. Seemed to really slow down at around 130kW, so I stopped watching. There was a car charging at the far end so I took near the other end, and in between us, was a great...

You have just echoed my sentiments on the thought processes going on in Redding Governmental Brains. No forward thinking going on here. The only thing they're interested in is compliance with state mandates. My wife and I recently sat through a 1 hour presentation at a City Council meeting on...

I totally agree. The BIG picture here is that a SC in Redding is not for the locals, it is for the entire Tesla community, as Redding really is a hub to many outlying areas. Cybertruck customers will be huge in Northern California when the light bulb finally clicks in people's heads up here...

You are right Blup85. Normally, it would fall under a simple administrative review to check and approve. It's probably tied to one of those larger projects, and without getting too political, some of which I support and some not. I guess we all just have to be patient on this. Since I live...

No, I don't think Tesla is being "railroaded" by the city council, nor has anything come to a vote. However, after seeing some obvious ignorance from some city council members concerning, for instance, where Redding is heading in the clean energy department (solar), I'm not so sure those...

Sadly, you could be right. I had much more respect for the City of Redding before the latest solar debacle when the city utility tried to cram Net Metering 2.0 down the throats of existing solar customers they had already signed agreements with. Now that my eyes have been opened, I'm starting...

Hmm...Hwy 36 out of Red Bluff is still a minor road, while Hwy 299 both East and West out of Redding is a major highway (don't forget Hwy 44 towards Lassen, Susanville, and Reno). My hunch is that Tesla has it's sights on a couple of spots in Redding but infrastructure projects in those areas...

I TOTALLY concur with this. I had my car in the body shopo_O a day after the big "Smart Summon" update. I had no idea why it seemed to be loosing what looked like 7-8 percent a day - and I was freaking out as I couldn't imagine how the body shop would deal with a dead Tesla. Thankfully, they...

FYI this is what I've been using since August and have had zero problems. 128GB and no partitions.

Coming down from Redding Saturday via Hwy 20, Lakeport, Middletown, etc. to visit my mother in Santa Rosa who lives in a condo without charging capabilities. I'll be near empty winding down the Mark West Road. Coddingtown Mall would be a perfect place to charge, and V3 to boot!!!

I got so excited when I read about this feature, I downloaded an entire movie from Netflix to my phone over WiFi. During my big trip the following day, as I sat at a Supercharger, I couldn't get it to play, or mirror, or whatever you want to call it. I guess Tesla is referring only to sharing...

I have a 9/18 build and also had a crack a few months ago that started meandering up from the bottom of the rear glass, just above the trunk area. No damage whatsoever so it appeared to be a stress crack. They repaired it no problem.

Too bad the results couldn't have been compared to "A Better Route Planner".
